Polish Courses for Business in Gloucestershire

All over the UK, private individuals and professionals in a variety of companies have gained benefits by taking part in a Polish Language Course from SIMON & SIMON. With an average of 15 years’ experience, the native Polish speakers of SIMON & SIMON’s qualified teaching team tailor each course for the specific requirements of the student, from absolute novices to those with some experience. Our clients reliably give excellent feedback on our Polish teachers. Each of our students receives an information profile on the background and experience of their Polish teacher before they commence their Polish lessons.

If the only experience you have of studying a language is from your time in school, you may not know that there has been a revolution in the teaching of modern languages so that it is both more fun and more worthwhile. Your Polish teacher in Gloucestershire will be using the Communicative Approach, where your lessons will, with few exceptions, be conducted in Polish. You will see your progress from that very first lesson and will soon be confident enough to conduct business or talk socially in Polish.

Polish courses from us can be run for groups or individuals. While many of our clients offer their employees Polish courses on a 1:1 basis, group sessions can be excellent value. Group sessions do require planning and commitment from the participants and we recommend that no more than 6 people participate in a group. As 1:1 lessons can be tailored to an individual’s needs, strengths and weaknesses, learning Polish in Gloucestershire on a 1:1 basis will give quicker progress.

Polish Course Management

Every SIMON & SIMON Polish language course has a highly experienced, multi-lingual Account Manager who oversees it. When your Polish course starts you will be sent a profile on your trainer, materials for your course and a Course Plan as well as a Progress Report for every 40 hours of training. Breaking the Language Barrier, our quarterly newsletter that you will also receive, contains a prize draw as well as weblinks to a number of learning resources.

We have a global network of language trainers so our Polish language courses can be arranged for almost any major European city, or even further abroad. SIMON & SIMON have run Polish language courses for clients in many diverse locations. Polish language courses can be run in your home for your convenience, but many of our clients prefer to run them in their offices so as to minimise travel. For a list of the locations of the full-time residential Polish language courses that we offer, contact our office.

Gloucestershire Polish Course Schedules

Our Polish language courses in Gloucestershire take place throughout the year. Many of our students try to attend more than one weekly lesson if work commitments allow, and most will attend at least one session of 90-minutes duration per week. If you would like a Weekend Course, one can be arranged. Our Polish daytime courses run from 8am through to 8pm, Monday - Friday. We also provide Intensive Polish language courses on clients’ premises or in residential centres both in the UK and abroad. These courses run for 30 hours of the week, 6 hours a day from Monday to Friday.

The Polish language course that you undertake will be customised for your Polish level and personal goals. Before you start the course, we will speak to you about your desired focus and assess you Polish level. You may have little or no experience of Polish and only want basic conversational skills or you may be more proficient and desire more fluency with which to discuss business. You may want to raise your Polish skills for use in meetings and negotiations or rather develop increased comprehension and pronunciation skills. Whatever your objectives, our Polish language trainers are highly experienced, and you can be confident that your personalised Polish course will help you to meet your goals quickly.

Polish Language Examination Courses

SIMON & SIMON also assists in preparation for Polish examinations, whether for business or personal qualification. We believe that our 95% pass rate for language examinations is a reflection of our policy of working with Polish teachers in Gloucestershire who possess above average experience. Registration for and administration of Polish examinations, along with the issuing of results certificates are all provided by SIMON & SIMON.

The table below is based on recognised language levels used by various academic institutions accross the European Union. A highly motivated student attending weekly sessions with their language trainer can expect to move from one level to another after 50 hours providing they also commit to a similar number of hours of self-study.

Of course, some people find learning languages easier than others, and some students will have more opportunities to practise the language in the course of their work and leisure, so these factors also need to be considered when trying to assess how long it will take to move from one level to another.

Polish describes a Lechitic subgroup of West Slavic languages in Central Europe and the official language of Poland. Its written standard is the Polish alphabet which corresponds to the Latin alphabet with several additions. Polish-speakers use the language in a uniform manner throughout most of Poland. Despite the pressure of non-Polish administrations in Poland, who have often attempted to suppress the Polish language, a rich literature has developed over the centuries and the language is currently the largest in terms of speakers of the West Slavic group. It is also the third most widely spoken Slavic language, after Russian and Ukrainian.

Gloucestershire is a county in South West England. The county comprises part of the Cotswold Hills, part of the flat fertile valley of the River Severn, and the entire Forest of Dean. The county town is the city of Gloucester, and other principal towns include Cheltenham, Cirencester, Stroud, and Tewkesbury. When considered as a ceremonial county, Gloucestershire borders the preserved county of Gwent in Wales (now Monmouthshire), and in England the ceremonial counties of Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Warwickshire, Oxfordshire, Wiltshire, Somerset and Bristol. Ceremonially, it includes the area covered by the South Gloucestershire unitary authority. According to a 2002 campaign by the charity Plantlife, the county flower of Gloucestershire is the Wild Daffodil. Gloucestershire is a historic county mentioned in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle in the 10th century, though the areas of Winchcombe and the Forest of Dean were not added until the late 11th century. Gloucestershire originally included the "small town" of Bristol. The "local" rural community moved to the port city, (as Bristol was to become) and Bristol's population growth accelerated during the industrial revolution. Bristol became part of the administrative County of Avon in 1974.
